Virat-Kohli-and-Irfan-Pathan
Irfan Pathan believes Virat Kohli's men will take the aggressive way if India doesn't lose many wickets on the Reserve Day. The Indian cricket team is currently in a tricky situation heading into the Reserve Day of the World Test Championship final. However, former Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan believes the Men in Blue will play an aggressive brand of cricket against the New Zealand pace threat on Wednesday. The all-rounder further added that a score of around 160 would be enough for the team India. After that, the Indian team should declare their innings and try to get some early scalps of the Kiwis to put them on backfoot.
India need to set a target and then bowl out NZ if they are to win the Final
Team India headed to Stumps on Day 5 with a 32-run lead, but they lost their opening batsmen Rohit and Gill towards the close of play. NZ senior pacer Tim Southee dismissed Rohit Sharma for 30 shortly after he removed Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara resumed India's 2nd innings on Wednesday. However, the duo was dismissed by Kyle Jamieson on Day six.
The Indian cricket team will have to make a few bold calls if they are to force a result in their favour. With only 98 overs of play possible on the final day of the WTC final, New Zealand has the advantage as they need only 8 wickets. On the other hand, team India will have to set a target and then bowl New Zealand out. The final day of the ongoing WTC final will be extremely important as both teams would go for a win. The forecast also shows clear weather, which ensures a full day's play. The Indian batting line-up will look to utilize this opportunity to create some pressure on the Kiwis.
While many cricket experts believe that the first WTC final will have no result, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan thinks the opposite. Former pacer Irfan Pathan reckoned that all three results are still possible in the WTC final. Irfan added that either New Zealand would win the match or it will end in a draw.
